Senate shock jolted IK, confidence vote, too, is an indication of this mistrust

Islamabad: 6 March 2021: The prime minister decided to take the vote of confidence is a bizarre act, especially after the passage of the 18th amendment. This was done by Benazir Bhutto, former P.M Nawaz have taken after 30 days of an election. Since 2010 the law does not require such practice.
This exercise was nothing short of a "jhandu balm" the pain relieve act because his party's morale was down after they were defeated in the senate election. Unfortunately for Mr Khan, despite taking such a measure, the reality that there are people in his party who defected and voted for his rivals will not change.
It would have been better if the prime minister left the subject of a no-confidence motion to the opposition, and then consolidated his position. Opposition and the Governing party should be wise enough to deescalate the tension rather than indulging in mere tricks and defamation activities.
Opposition always made an impulsive decision to walk out from discussion despite knowing that his house is the best place to discuss. The days ahead will be challenging and fraught with high political drama. The government must adopt a mature approach and develop a pragmatic strategy for a way forward.
